The 2 Americas--Hank Paulson on the monied Left

(Obama supporters won't be able to digest this so move along. It requires both a left and a right brain).

• 1. CEO of Goldman Sachs from 1999 until 2006 when George W. Bush hired him.

• 2. Member of IMF Board of Governors.

• 3. "During his long career at Goldman Sachs, Paulson has accumulated

• a net worth estimated at over $700 million.

In a July, 2008 article, The London Daily Telegraph reported that, "Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson

• has intimate relations with the Chinese elite, dating from his days at Goldman Sachs

• when he visited the country more than 70 times.""

• 4. Chairman of influential trade group the Financial Services Forum.

• 5. Strong believer in man made global warming and urgent need to spend against it:

"Along with (Al) Gore, the co-founder of GIM (a 'green' investment firm)

• is Treasury Secretary and former Goldman Sachs CEO
• Hank Paulson.

Last September, Goldman Sachs bought 10% of CCX shares for $23 million. CCX owns half the ECX, so Goldman Sachs has a stake there as well....

• GIM (Generation Investment Management)appears to have considerable influence over the major carbon-credit trading firms that currently exist: the
• Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) in the U.S. and the Carbon Neutral Company (CNC) in Great Britain.

• CCX is the only firm in the U.S. that claims to
  
• trade carbon credits.

CCX owes its existence in part to the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago-based liberal foundation ....On the CCX board of directors

• is the ubiquitous Maurice Strong,

a Canadian industrialist and diplomat who, since the 1970s, has helped create an international policy agenda for the environmentalist movement. Strong has described himself as “a socialist in ideology, a capitalist in methodology.”

• His former job titles include “senior advisor” to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan,

• “senior advisor” to World Bank President James Wolfensohn and

• board member of the United Nations Foundation, a creation of Ted Turner.
  

The 78-year-old Strong is very close to Gore."...

• ""The most dangerous thing that could be done would be to place the merchandising of money in the hands of the national government. Such a step would give the internationalists their FINAL weapon to destroy property and personal rights of loyal Americans. The internationalists are secretly seeking to make just such a move at this time. Watch their movements carefully and be on the alert that they do not put over legislation which would nationalize the banks, as they call it—in other words, make every bank in the United States a branch office of the Federal Government."

~from the book "Money Creators" by Gertrude M. Coogan (1935)"

• P.S. Man-made global warming does not exist, of course. Even if it did, it could not be cured by a few countries buying and selling carbon scams while polluters continued to pollute. (sm)
